Mitsubishi Delica, Banff

You see a lot of these rugged little 4wd vans in Western Canada. We understand they are imported as used cars straight from Japan---the steering wheel is on the right. The Delica van seems anything but delicate: Japanese branding often sounds a little otherworldly to the North American ear. What the heck was a Celica, anyway? Or a Tercel? Here's a post on more Japanese imports AL spotted in Vancouver a while back.
